I've always loved circuses but they now hold a special fascination for me, so I jumped at the chance to go and see Varekai by Cirque du Soleil yesterday- and it was wonderful!
I especially loved the Flight of Icarus, the amazing juggling (how do you juggle with your mouth?!!?) and the wonderful children who performed an act that reminded me of poi spinning and made me long to do it again- I suppose for now though I'll have to be satisfied with hula, trapeze and pole!
If you get the chance to go and see a Cirque Du Soleil show take it- especially if it's at the Royal Albert Hall- a beautiful venue.

I taught my wirework class today which I think is probably my favourite as everyone goes through such a steep learning curve. They usually start the day with either no experience or very little and leave wearing their own hand-made silver jewellery!

After posting recently about how nice it is to see what others have made after being inspried by my work, I discovered today Nicki in Austria who made a necklace after seeing my pieces Geometric 3-5-1 and 3-5-2.

I spent Monday with a friend looking at Viking Weave and stringing and began a new piece all in copper. It had been a while since I'd done it or even looked at my finished pieces so it was a lovely reminder of how much I like it and how great it looks when done.

I'm delighted to announce that anyone attending a class with me at the Kentish Town venue will receive a 10% off voucher which can be used the day of the class at the London Bead Co in Kentish Town.
